Abstract excerpt
The anticoagulant human plasma serine protease, activated protein C (APC), inhibits blood coagulation by specific inactivation of the coagulation cofactors factor Va (FVa) and factor VIIIa. Site-directed mutagenesis of residues in three surface loops of a positive exosite located on APC was used to identify residues that play a significant role in binding to FVa. Eighteen different residues were mutated to...
